Halloween

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to be a samurai for halloween. Not the armored kind but the kind of samurai that wears the gowns of cloth and really broad sleaves. Does anyone know where i can get one for my size and everything? Perhaps a martial arts shop?

I seriously believe that you chose a too spectacular dress. Not even in a shop specialised on costume-rentals you will find such a thing. sad_o.gif

Put on some BDU's and get a Gorilla mask and gloves and when people ask

"what the heck are you supposed to be?"

"I am Gorilla Warfare"

Um... I spent four months in the Middle East in early 2000 and got my a nice Kaffieyah and Sheik robe while shopping. 2002 I went to a friend's Halloween party, and not having anything else grabbed the robe and the Kaffieyah and a fake beard on my way out the door. I got there and the guy who opened the door was dressed like a firefighter with borrowed bunker gear... doh. The referees for the fight were a goth faerie and a guy in a hazmat moon suit.
